Decomposing Composers Monty Python
---------------------------................
[C] Beethoven's gone but his [G/B]music lives on,
And [Am]Mozart don't go shopping no [Em]more.
You'll [F]never meet Liszt or [C]Brahms again,
And [F]Elgar doesn't answer the [G]door.
Verse 2:
[C] Schubert and Chopin,
Used to [G/B]chuckle and laugh,
Whilst com-[Am]posing a long sympho-[Em]ny.
But one [F]hundred and fifty years [C]later;
There's very [F]little of them left to [G]see.
Chorus 1:
[C] They're Decomposing Com-[G]posers,
There's [F]not much anyone can [G]do.
[C] You can still hear Beet-[F]hoven,
But [G]Beethoven cannot hear [C]you.
*(BEETHOVEN BREAK)*
Verse 3:
[C] Handel and Haydn and [G/B]Rachmaninov,
En-[Am]joyed a nice drink with their [Em]meal.
But [F]nowadays no one will [C]serve them,
And their [F]gravy is left to con-[G]geal.
Verse 4:
[C] Verdi and Wagner de-[G/B]lighted crowds,
With their [Am]highly original [Em]sounds.
The pi-[F]anos they played are still [C]working,
But [F]they're both six feet under-[G]ground.
Chorus 2:
[C] They're Decomposing Com-[G]posers,
There's [F]less of them every [G]year.
You can [C]say what you like to De-[F]bussy,
But there's [G]not much of him left to [C]hear.
Coda:
[C] Ahh, [Am]ahh,
[F] Claude A-[G]chille De-[C]bussy;
[Am] Died, [F]nineteen eight-[G]een.
[C] Christophe [Am]Willebald [F]Gluck; [G]
[C] Died, 1787.
[C] Carl Maria Von Weber;
Not at all well, 1825, [Am]died 1826.
[Am] Giacomo Meyerbeer;
[Am] Still alive, 186-[Dm]3,
[Am] Not still alive, [Dm]1864.
[Am] Modeste Mus-[F]sorgsky;
[Am] 1880, going to parties,
[C] No fun anymore, 188-[F]1.
[C] Johan Nepomuk [G]Hummel;
[C] Chatting away [F]nineteen,
[G] To the [C]dozen with his mates,
(n.C)
Down the pub, every evening, 1836,
1837; nothing.
